Pastor Baltrip strongly believes that there is a mandate from God to all believers to spread the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to people of all races, colors, creeds, and walks of life. Just as Jesus commissions us as ministers of the Gospel to go into all the world and teach all nations, we must all realize that this assignment is not limited to those that are clergy but to all that believe on the name of Jesus.

Statement of Faith

1. We believe the Holy Bible as the inspired Word of God, without any error, the all-sufficient authority in matters of faith, doctrine, and Christian living.

2. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three manifestations: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

3. We believe that Jesus Christ is the true and living Son of God. He is God that wrapped Himself in flesh, came to earth, dies as a perfect sacrifice on the cross for our sins, and on the third day, He rose bodily from the dead that all men might have a right to the tree of life everlasting. Christ ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father.

4. We believe that man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and therefore lost his first estate. Only through regeneration by the blood of Jesus and the work of the Holy Spirit can man’s salvation and spiritual life be obtained.

5. We believe that eternal salvation is the free gift of God, entirely apart from man’s works, and is possessed by any and all who have faith in and receive Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.

Mission Statement

Dominion Center Church seeks to compel people of all races, creeds, colors, and backgrounds to receive the salvation that has been freely given by our Lord Jesus Christ, as taught in the Holy Bible. Moreover, we endeavor to teach biblical principles that not only promote biblical knowledge, but principles that are relevant to our everyday lives – ministering to the whole man socially, economically, physically, and spiritually.
